Encrypted Laravel model feilds do not update - laravel

Question

I'm having trouble updating the github_oauth_token and github_oauth_refresh_token fields in my User model that have the encrypted cast. All other fields update fine and the casting is working as expected however the fields will not save to the database.
User model
namespace App\Models;
use App\Mail\EmailVerification;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Crypt;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasFactory, Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'first_name',
'last_name',
'email',
'email_verification_token',
'password',
'github_oauth_token',
'github_oauth_refresh_token',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password',
'remember_token',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be cast to native types.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
'github_oauth_token' => 'encrypted',
'github_oauth_refresh_token' => 'encrypted',
];
/**
* Set the user's github oauth token.
*
* #param string $value
* #return void
*/
public function setGithubOauthTokenAttribute($value)
{
$this->github_oauth_token = Crypt::encryptString($value);
}
/**
* Set the user's github oauth refresh token.
*
* #param string $value
* #return void
*/
public function setGithubOauthRefreshTokenAttribute($value)
{
$this->github_oauth_refresh_token = Crypt::encryptString($value);
}
}
User migration
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
class CreateUsersTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('first_name', 45);
$table->string('last_name', 45);
$table->string('email')->unique();
$table->string('email_verification_token', 30)->nullable();
$table->timestamp('email_verified_at')->nullable();
$table->string('password');
$table->string('github_oauth_token')->nullable();
$table->string('github_oauth_refresh_token')->nullable();
$table->rememberToken();
$table->timestamps();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('users');
}
}
Controller method
public function handleGitHubCallback()
{
$gitHubUser = Socialite::driver('github')->user();
$user = Auth::user();
$user->github_oauth_token = $gitHubUser->token; // does not update
$user->github_oauth_refresh_token = $gitHubUser->refreshToken; // does not update
$user->first_name = 'Johnathan'; // updates fine
$user->save();
return redirect()->route('space.list.get')->with('success', Lang::get('messages.success_github_linked'));
}

The issue is in User Model.You are casting both fields in $cast property
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
'github_oauth_token' => 'encrypted',
'github_oauth_refresh_token' => 'encrypted',
];
So no need to add Mutators so remove both below Mutators.
public function setGithubOauthTokenAttribute($value)
{
$this->github_oauth_token = Crypt::encryptString($value);
}
public function setGithubOauthRefreshTokenAttribute($value)
{
$this->github_oauth_refresh_token = Crypt::encryptString($value);
}
Also if you want to use mutators then you have an error it should b like below
public function setGithubOauthTokenAttribute($value)
{
$this->attributes['github_oauth_token ']= Crypt::encryptString($value);
}
public function setGithubOauthRefreshTokenAttribute($value)
{
$this->attributes['github_oauth_refresh_token ']= Crypt::encryptString($value);
}
